One of the longest sponsorships of gear on professional golf is over. As it is first reported by Golf And confirmed by Golf.com, Taylormade Golf ended the sponsorship of 18-year-old equipment with the former world no. 1 Dustin Johnson At the end of 2024, when the contract expired.
Johnson signed for the first time with Taylormade when he returned a professional in 2007 and had been a key element of the company’s tour staff since that time, winning 24 PGA Tour titles and two major championships using brand dresses. The 40-year-old has spent 135 weeks at the top of the official Golf rankings in his career, the third at all times after Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.
The partnership was twice extended, first in 2016, shortly before Johnson won his first major title in the US Open, and then again in 2021 after he won the 2020 masters.
Johnson continued to play Taylormade clubs and wear Taylormade’s head dresses when signed with Liv Golf in 2022, though he was significantly missing from marketing campaigns and Taylormade website.
Johnson has won three Liv Golf events, one in every season, since membership in the league but Liv Golf events are not recognized by OWGR And as a result, Johnson’s ranking has fallen to 578 in the world. His last top-10 worldwide came in 2023 US Open and he lost two cuts in four diplomas last season and was not better than one T31 in the open championship in Royal Portrush.
When Johnson made his debut in the season last week at GolfDespite the games of a new driver Taylormade Qi35, Johnson’s hat showed only his team’s 4ace and new logos of the era.

Before last season, Johnson completed a 15-year work relationship with Adidas And later that year announced that his 4acea team would be sponsored by the extracurricular clothing brand. Johnson signed with Adidas when he returned in favor, again when the company owned Taylormade.
Playing like a free gear agent, Johnson opened with a 67 under lights in the opening round in Liv Riyadh but faded in the last two rounds with a 73 and 74 to finish T44.
